Rob was surprised by the young noble's persistence in repairing the device. Even for a large family, 30,000 gold coins was not a small amount. The young nobleman only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the old magician's request. His anger was mostly due to Gagarin's attempt to take advantage of the situation. This meant that what they planned to do with this magic device was far beyond the value of 30,000 gold coins.
So what was the use of this compass?
Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, could not help but be curious about the device that he destroyed with his own hands.
When he was in Ryan, the Matthews family had spent a lot of effort to find the whereabouts of this device. They specially issued a C-level commission to the Adventurers Guild and went around in circles to cover up their purpose. Even so, they were still worried and sent a powerful team of grade 2 professionals. In the end, the team leader Raúl set his eyes on Lolo's Elven Sword. In the end, not only was the team annihilated, but the compass was also destroyed by Archmage's Fireball Burst.
Unexpectedly, the Matthews Family did not give up. They took the remaining half of the magic devices across the sea to Gudilesi and found Gagarin after several twists and turns. They seemed to have an extraordinary desire to repair the magic devices.
Rob reorganized the previous events. If he remembered correctly, the Matthews family had lost the device for more than half a year. The illegitimate son of Viscount Megson seemed to have a mediocre status in the Matthews family. After he died in the underground city for so long, no one went to collect his body. It was not until half a year later that the Matthews family began to search for the device like crazy.
Yes, something must have happened in between that caused them to change their attitude and realize the immense value of that magic device.
Archmage recalled the major events that happened in the Dawn Continent during that period, but he could not find anything related to the interests of the Matthews family.
It was a pity that the Magic Device was badly damaged. Luo Bu had checked it in the Dungeon, but he couldn't tell what function it had. Otherwise, he could speculate what the Matthews Family was trying to do.
The Great Magician looked at Gagarin, who was gorging himself not far away. He hadn't seen this guy for a few years, but this guy had changed quite a bit. Back in the academic salon, Gagarin's performance was so timid that not many people listened to him even when he gave a speech. Now, he had become an old fox.
It seemed that he had been living a good life in the south these years. Repairing magic devices was a profitable business, especially after he gained a foothold in Gudilesi. He no longer had to sell himself everywhere. As long as he sat at home, there would be a steady stream of business coming to him. Gagarin's appetite was getting bigger and bigger.
However, this old man still had a sense of self-protection. He had arranged to meet the mages of the Matthews family here. He deliberately sat in the hall so that the people around could see them and prevent them from having any dirty thoughts. He had indeed made a big deal out of the Matthews family.
30,000 gold coins. Even Luo Bu was a little tempted by this sum of money. Oh, why don't I wait for Gagarin to fix this compass, then snatch it and sell it to the Matthews family? But that doesn't seem very nice.
Your Honor, the future super magus, finally gave up this tempting idea. It was better to keep a low profile in Gudilesi. After all, there were many masters here, and there was the unfathomable level 9 super magus Arbus. If he was not careful, he might expose his identity.
After confirming that the deal between the Matthews family and Gagarin had nothing to do with him, Rob decided to ignore it. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to go to the theater to watch a show. However, he was knocked down by a guy who was walking with his head down.
"I'm sorry," the guy apologized and hurried away.
Archmage touched his pocket and found that the money was still there. He did not mind it and continued to walk towards the theater. Rob did not stop until he reached a relatively remote alley next to the theater.
Because the road in front of him was blocked by a fierce-looking bald man. His mountain-like body completely blocked the narrow road. On his left, an archer who was chewing grass roots smiled at him. Behind him, the shadows of two thieves were faintly discernible in the night.
Your Honor, the future super magus, sighed. "Can you not hit my face when we fight later?"
The bald man laughed. "It seems that this little brother has been beaten up a lot for hooking up with other people's women."
"So, you are here because I flirted with a waitress in a restaurant?" Rob raised his eyebrows.
"Haha, I like talking to smart people. Since you are smart, don't resist later. We will let you go after we break one or two of your ribs," the bald man threatened.
"Is that so? I'm afraid that the people behind you don't think so," Archmage said calmly.
The bald man's expression changed. "What are you talking about? We are just helping our friends to teach a pervert like you a lesson. Who could be behind this?"
"Dragon Spear Mercenary Group?" Rob glanced at the badge on the scarred man's chest. "Hehe, this is indeed the style of the Matthews family. They do the work on the surface and you mercenaries do the dirty work behind the scenes. Even if you make a mistake, you will not leave any evidence behind. To be honest, I'm curious how much money the Matthews family pays you every year in exchange for your loyalty. And how many dirty things have you done for them? Looking at how skilled you are, it should not be the first time you have killed people like this. "
Seeing that his plan had been exposed, the bald man completely tore off his disguise and grinned. "I didn't know that you know so much. That's right. The order we received tonight is to kill people. We have no grudge against you. You can only blame your bad luck for appearing in the wrong place at the wrong time."
"Don't you think this is a little too much? You want to kill everyone in the restaurant just to keep the secret as much as possible? " The young man shook his head and untied the sword at his waist. Then, under the surprised gaze of the Dragon Spear Mercenary Group, he threw the sword aside and held the cane in his hand.
"???" The Dragon Spear Mercenary Group was puzzled. What did this mean? Was he going to surrender in advance?
"I don't know if the Matthews family told you, but it's better to be careful when doing this in Gudilesi because there are mages everywhere in this city."
